I was wondering if anyone had seen Gatekeepers or Tokyo Underground and what you thought of those animes?

I saw and finished Gatekeepers AND Gatekeepers 21, but not the gatekeepers in the '80s. I liked Gatekeepers '69 (sort of like calling the first star wars "A new hope") even if it was "Monster of the Week" Gatekeeper 21 is really really depressing... I'm not sure about the one in the '80s...

Tokyo Underground... I saw about half of it before it got licensed... I started watching it again when it was dubbed, but I never finished it. I liked it, but I guess I was fed up with those kind of anime at the time. I'd probably be fine with it now.

I purchased Gatekeepers 21 v. 2 in an auction(just to get some other dvds) so I might pick up volume 1, but I was wondering if you need to watch Gatekeepers for Gatekeepers 21 to make sense?

Um... Not really. It's more like if you watch the original first and THEN watch 21, you'll be really depressed... Of course, that may happen no matter which way you watch it. The events in 21 refer back to characters in the original, family relations and such, but I think the reason to start with the original gatekeepers would be to have a progression of the story from easy to difficult to take, I suppose... If that makes any sense, i mean.
